announcement was made as a result of a de'-ision o recede reached by speaker clark and his associates in the leadership of the majority there conse quently is no doubt the house will ratify this policy the house bill provided for the direct election of senators but also deprived the federal government of the power of regu lating such elections in the spnatc the bristow amendment eliminated this proviso leaving the lan guage of the constitution on this point as it stauds text of the amendment the proposed amendment to the consti tution as it will emerge from congress after the house acts to-morrow will be in the following phraseology the senate of the inited states shall be composed of two senators from oach state elected by the people thereof for six years and each senator shall have one vote the electors in each state shall have the quali fications requisite for electors of the u ost numerous branch of the state legislatures when vacancies happen in the repre sentation of any

temporary appointments until the people fill the vacancies by elect-on as the legislature may direct this amendment shall not be so con strued as to affect the election or term of any chosen before it becomes valid as part of the constitution president will sign measure the joint resolution carrying the pro posed constitutional amendment will be signed b.v president Taft and then submit ted to the legislatures of the several states when it shall have been ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the statos it automatically will become a part of the federal constitution and will be so pro claimed by the secretary of state ratification will be necessary by thirty six states already more than a score have petitioned congress to submit the amend ment so that a ratification by the requi site number within a short time is regarded as a foregone conclusion it is not unlikely that within the next three years the election of senators by the several legislatures will have given way forever to the election by the people preyed on priests jailed man who victimized clergymen given six months in bridewell william von der janczyk who says he was graduated from the heidelberg t'niver

collusion of Taft managers and a senate lorimer democrat worcester mass april 20.â€”throw ing restraint to the winds colonel roose j velt here to-night scarified president toft i nercilessly for the presidents bitter at tack upon him he wanted war i am going to give it to hiiu remarked the ex-president grimly jas his train hauled into worcester jost j after dusk roosevelt kept his word lie took up the gauntlet hurled by the president t>.r i scourged him witli a violence that made his audience wince it was a vitriolic re morseless attack the colonel pl.uged into his denunciatii of the president before a bowling crowd of j.ooo in mechanics hall outside the ball were 5,000 more who vainly struggled to get in president Taft had awakened massachusetts with his desperate condem nation of roosevelt and worcester want iff to bear bow roosevelt would reply to it [ in caustic phvhse koosevelt branded taft's administration as a failure saying be failed to comprehend what the nation wanted he accused the president of hav ing committed an unpardonable sin for any man calling himself a gentleman in having resorted to confidential correspond ence to assail him in loud voice colonel roosevelt characterized the president's at titude toward him as crooked hypocrisy when t lie colonel stepped to the stage the crowd cheered him wildly for a miunte accuses Taft of gross hypocrisy early in his speech colonel roosevelt took up the break iu friendship between president Taft and himself saying mr Taft said yesterday that never m thought word or deed bad he been dis loyal in his friendship tor me it is bard for me to answer such a statement save by calling it the grossest and most astounding hypocrisy when mr Taft made the state ment he had just sent in to the united states senate on half an hour's notice ob viously in collusion with the lorimer dem ocratic senator who made the request pa pers which were intended to convey the impression that i had improperly favored the harvester trust by declining to prose cute it in 1907 every Taft newspaper i have seen has so interpreted mr taft's action mr Taft was a member of my cabinet when this identical case was fully dis i cussed before the cabinet and my memory is that he himself made the motion that there should be no prosecution of the harvester trust pending the making of an investigation into the trust by the com missioner of corporations in pursuance of the senate resolution crookedest kind of crooked deal when mr Taft obviously to influence the massachusetts primary and iu collusion with one of mr j.orimer's senatorial sup porters of the opposite political party takes the action be did be has not only iu thought word and deed been disloyal to our past friendship but has been dis loyal to every canon of ordinary decency and fair dealing such as should obtain even in dealing with a man's bitterest op ponents such conduct represents the very crookedest kind of a crooked deal and when mr Taft within twenty-four hours of taking it complains that lie has not been given a square deal by me be exposes him self to derision and contempt this is not an exceptional instance c ' how be has behaved to me the same course was followed last summer i:i con nection with the tennessee coal & iron company the assaults upon me by mr taft's campaign managers made in wash ington under mr taft's very eyes have been fonl to the verge of indecency lint remember i am not complaining of these things i cure nothing for mr taft's per sonal attitude toward me i allude to it only in passing and merely because mr Taft lays such emphasis on the matter taking up bis accusation that president Taft had accepted the support of senator lorimer without protest the colonel ened out although mr Taft began by being roosevelt asserts Taft is guilty of hypocrisy mr Taft said that never in thought word or deed had he been disloyal in his friendship for me it is hard for me to answer such a statement save by calling it the grossest and most astounding hypocrisy of disloyalty when mr Taft obviously to influence the massachusetts primary and in collusion with one of mr lorimer's senatorial supporters of the opposite political party takes the action he did he has not only in thought word and deed been disloyal to . our past friendship but has been disloyal to every canon of ordinary decency and fair dealing of double dealing when the primary election in Illinois is passed when lorimer has been beaten when there is no more support to be gotten out of him then and not until then does mr Taft announce that he was once against him of breach of faith he publishes a letter of mine in answer tc a letter of his marked confidential one of the un pardonable sins on the part of any man calling him self a gentleman is to publish confidential corre spondence without permission of falsehood referring to the president's allusion that the influence of federal officeholders in the Chicago convention this year will be less effective for any one candidate than ever before in the history of the party this is not only an untruth but it is an absurd untruth never in thirty years close observation have i seen such scandalous abuse of the patronage as this year of ingratitude he served under me through my seven and a ; h_j_f years he did not then discover that i had any of the faults which he now finds in me he eagerly praised me he eagerly followed my lead he eagerly supported me and sought my support he thankfully accepted whatever i had to give him and he only discovered that i was dangerous to the people when i discovered that he was useless to the people of moral obliquity mr taft's method of attacking me on this point . third term is deeply discreditable he says of me that the promise and his treatment of it only throw an informing light on the value that ought now to be attached to any promise of this kind that he may make in the future - ' coming from mr Taft this statement represents a peculiar obliquity of moral judgment of weakness i think he means well he means well feebly and indulgently but during his administration he has been under the influence of men

roosevelt characterized the president's at titude toward him as crooked hypocrisy when t lie colonel stepped to the stage the crowd cheered him wildly for a miunte accuses Taft of gross hypocrisy early in his speech colonel roosevelt took up the break iu friendship between president Taft and himself saying mr Taft said yesterday that never m thought word or deed bad he been dis loyal in his friendship tor me it is bard for me to answer such a statement save by calling it the grossest and most astounding hypocrisy when mr Taft made the state ment he had just sent in to the united states senate on half an hour's notice ob viously in collusion with the lorimer dem ocratic senator who made the request pa pers which were intended to convey the impression that i had improperly favored the harvester trust by declining to prose cute it in 1907 every Taft newspaper i have seen has so interpreted mr taft's action mr Taft was a member of my cabinet when this identical case was fully dis i cussed before the cabinet and my memory is that he himself made the motion that there should be no prosecution of the harvester trust pending the making of an investigation into the trust by the com missioner of corporations in pursuance of the senate resolution crookedest kind of crooked deal when mr Taft obviously to influence the massachusetts primary and iu collusion with one of mr j.orimer's senatorial sup porters of the opposite political party takes the action be did be has not only iu thought word and deed been disloyal to our past friendship but has been dis loyal to every canon of ordinary decency and fair dealing such as should obtain even in dealing with a man's bitterest op ponents such conduct represents the very crookedest kind of a crooked deal and when mr Taft within twenty-four hours of taking it complains that lie has not been given a square deal by me be exposes him self to derision and contempt this is not an exceptional instance c ' how be has behaved to me the same course was followed last summer i:i con nection with the tennessee coal & iron company the assaults upon me by mr taft's campaign managers made in wash ington under mr taft's very eyes have been fonl to the verge of indecency lint remember i am not complaining of these things i cure nothing for mr taft's per sonal attitude toward me i allude to it only in passing and merely because mr Taft lays such emphasis on the matter taking up bis accusation that president Taft had accepted the support of senator lorimer without protest the colonel ened out although mr Taft began by being roosevelt asserts Taft is guilty of hypocrisy mr Taft said that never in thought word or deed had he been disloyal in his friendship for me it is hard for me to answer such a statement save by calling it the grossest and most astounding hypocrisy of disloyalty when mr Taft obviously to influence the massachusetts primary and in collusion with one of mr lorimer's senatorial supporters of the opposite political party takes the action he did he has not only in thought word and deed been disloyal to . our past friendship but has been disloyal to every canon of ordinary decency and fair dealing of double dealing when the primary election in Illinois is passed when lorimer has been beaten when there is no more support to be gotten out of him then and not until then does mr Taft announce that he was once against him of breach of faith he publishes a letter of mine in answer tc a letter of his marked confidential one of the un pardonable sins on the part of any man calling him self a gentleman is to publish confidential corre spondence without permission of falsehood referring to the president's allusion that the influence of federal officeholders in the Chicago convention this year will be less effective for any one candidate than ever before in the history of the party this is not only an untruth but it is an absurd untruth never in thirty years close observation have i seen such scandalous abuse of the patronage as this year of ingratitude he served under me through my seven and a ; h_j_f years he did not then discover that i had any of the faults which he now finds in me he eagerly praised me he eagerly followed my lead he eagerly supported me and sought my support he thankfully accepted whatever i had to give him and he only discovered that i was dangerous to the people when i discovered that he was useless to the people of moral obliquity mr taft's method of attacking me on this point . third term is deeply discreditable he says of me that the promise and his treatment of it only throw an informing light on the value that ought now to be attached to any promise of this kind that he may make in the future - ' coming from mr Taft this statement represents a peculiar obliquity of moral judgment of weakness i think he means well he means well feebly and indulgently but during his administration he has been under the influence of men
